It's true that the outrages of Boko Haram get brief attention. You think; "That's awful but, better there than here". I'm sure the slaughter in Paris got a similar treatment in Nigeria; "That's awful but, better there than here".
People are pretty much the same no matter where you go. There's always some relief when the bad stuff doesn't happen to them. So no need to pay much attention to it.
